Arcane Lord

Orlando's face showed no flaws, and continued to express despair, resentment, struggle, and final decision.

"The death of all spellcasters means that the Stardew family will inevitably weaken until it dies. Such a result is absolutely unacceptable to me. Rather than this, it is better to disappear in Cormanthor in its current state." Orlando said firmly.

Although Fenowita still fell into human hands, there was only a glimmer of hope for the family's survival.

And with this glimmer of hope, Orlando doesn't mind betting more. He just bets that Villanse has spent so much time trying to obtain the plane key, and he will never give up just because he has to let a few spellcasters go. .

If you win the bet, the family can continue to exist. If you lose the bet, there will be no worse outcome anyway. It will be nothing more than the complete demise of the Stardew family.

As long as it can be slightly better on this basis, Orlando will accept it.

At this moment, he had regained his composure, and the eyes he looked at Villanse were full of determination, as if she would immediately destroy herself with the holy flames if she disagreed.

Villanse was silent. Looking at Orlando's decisive eyes, she suddenly felt very interesting. What made him think that he had to ask for the plane key?

This was just a bet she made with another high mage.

But since it exists, she won't let it go. You have to know that there are several high-ranking mages outside watching! If she doesn’t want it, of course someone else will!

Villanse waved his hand, and elves with desperate faces appeared in the courtyard one by one. They were suddenly teleported over, with a trace of confusion in their eyes.

But when he saw clearly that it was the Stardew Courtyard, the expression on his face became even more desperate.

Orlando was not moved at all when he saw this scene, even though all the elves here were members of the Stardew family.

"Villance, what do you mean?" Orlando asked.

"The spellcasters of the Stardew family are all here, and I can let you pick out half of them."

Pick out half? Orlando immediately understood Villanse's evil intentions, but things had reached this point and he had no choice.

He couldn't force a high mage to use self-destruction again and again. Picking half might be Villanse's punishment for him.

Looking at the desperate clan members, Orlando tried hard not to look at them, but Villanse still explained to these desperate elves that half of them would survive.

And who this half refers to is decided by their patriarch Orlando.

"Clan leader, I don't want to die! I have just grown up, and I want to become a high mage! I have a talent!"

"Clan leader! Cousin! Help me!"

"Master Patriarch, I have always been most loyal to you!"

…

Each tribe member kept crying about their past friendships, achievements, and blood ties, hoping that Chief Orlando could let them survive.

Looking at these ugly clan members, Orlando was filled with torment. What made him feel relieved was that more clan members showed the last integrity of the Stardew family.

Soon, half of the elves were selected by Orlando. Some of these people had happy faces, some had sad faces, and most of them had complicated expressions and were silent.

The remaining half were much more crazy, and most of them even yelled at Orlando directly. If everyone lived and died together, perhaps these elves would not have repeated emotions.

But after experiencing despair first, then hope, and finally despair again, facing the patriarch who personally pushed him into the abyss of death, no matter how good his mentality is, he will fall into anger.

Orlando calmly accepted all the emotions of his tribe. He looked at Villanse without any emotion in his words, "I have made a choice!"

"very good!"

Villanse looked at the half of the selected elves and said in a wicked tone, "Congratulations, you can go to the home of Arvandor!"

However, Villanse did not give these people a chance to be grateful, and killed them all in the next moment.

When the remaining half of the Stardew family casters saw this scene, they were first stunned, then ecstatic, and even looked at their patriarch Orlando with provocative eyes.

At this time, Villanse's voice sounded again, "Orlando, hand over the plane key. Do you want to choose again?"

Before Orlando could say anything, several surviving clan members began to yell and curse at Orlando to hand over the plane key.

Orlando numbly spoke a series of secret words. After saying a few words, Villanse sealed off the surrounding area. Then he inquired in detail. After personally verifying that the key was true and valid, Villanse released the blockade.

"You have a day!"

After saying that, Villanse disappeared.

Although Orlando was surprised that the other party let him go so easily, now was not the time to think about this. He pointed a finger casually, and the clansman who had just shouted the most proudly rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.

Completely out of breath.

In front of the High Mage, he was as weak as a baby, but in front of these tribesmen, he was as powerful as a giant dragon.

"Gather other tribesmen, let's leave here at midnight!"

…

The Tower of Domination, a circular conference hall with a towering dome.

Villanse, who had just left the Stardew Courtyard, appeared here again. She looked around and saw twelve high mages sitting on sixteen tall chairs with the same specifications as those behind her.

Except for four who came through projections, the other eight came in person.

In the middle of the conference hall, there was a huge projection, which showed Orlando telling his tribe to pack up and sell off their property.

After Villanse sat down, the projection disappeared. At the same time, an old and majestic voice came, "Villanse, you are late!"

"Sorry, I just got up and played a little game. Aren't there four people who haven't arrived yet?"

"It's already beyond the agreed time!" the majestic voice said again, but did not hold on to this matter.

Villanse cursed the old guy secretly and started chatting with the neighboring elves.

"Villanse, congratulations. I heard that the Stardew family's demiplane still contains war weapons from the Crown War period."

"Don't worry, your share is indispensable. But what does the old guy mean by asking me to drive the Stardew family to Netheril?"

"What do you mean? Never mind him! Who knows what he is thinking! I only care about when the secret spell scroll he promised will be fulfilled!"

Villanse was thoughtful. She was also attracted by the secret spell scroll and joined this so-called god-ascension plan. However, the old guy was always secretive about this plan, which made her very confused.

After a while, all the high mages arrived.

"Now let's start with the first topic, regarding Nese's request to restart Mithril negotiations and release Mithril control. This topic should not be discussed here, but Her Royal Highness the Princess threatened to delay the God Ascension Plan. We must respond."

As soon as he finished speaking, a senior mage stood up and said, "Your Excellency Farrow, by now you should have told us the complete plan for ascension to the gods. This is not the first time we have given in. If we cannot get the complete plan, then I quit!"

Soon, another dissatisfied high mage also stood up, and then one high mage after another put forward their opinions.

All the opinions add up to only one sentence. If you don’t say it, the team will break up!
